My friend, Ric likes to call me up and tease me about some of the recipes and dishes I put together.
“You’re making stuff that I can’t even pronounce. Are these chemicals?” he jokes.
I am positive that my other blogger friends have had similar experiences where they’ve had to explain the differences between fleur de sel and kosher salt. What is Kaffir Lime and what in the hell is a Chiffonade?
Well, this post is for Ric and some of my other friends that have these types of questions. The next time I get a cooking question, I’ll point them to Rouxbe.com
It’s a great looking site with some high quality, instructional cooking videos. They’ve got a great section called, “Drill-downs” that covers the questions mentioned, along with cooking techniques and other useful tips.
Hey Ric, this doesn’t mean you have to stop calling.
